Its been like a year since I have attempted some astrophotography, so don't laugh. My skies are light polluted, I could not get DSS to install (windows 7 refuses to extract the files stating it was blocked to prevent harm. Windows 7 is the biggest baby sitter I have ever seen) Anyway...

Taken with the 5DmkII and canon 24mm f/2.8 lens (sucks for astrophotos) at ISO 3200. single 1 minute exposures. I also used the meade / milapse head aka the DS mount:
